Total Box Office Revenue (Nigeria cinemas) — ₦15.64 billion

Lagos alone generated ₦7.94 billion — 50.8% of the national total.

The combined revenue of the next 9 top states (Abuja, Rivers, Edo, Oyo, Delta, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, Kwara) is approximately ₦5.90 billion.

Lagos out-earned the next nine contenders combined by over ₦2 billion. If Lagos cinemas were removed, half the industry's revenue would disappear.

Stop projecting your reality on others.

I like how statisense is giving this type of reports, it will not reflect the real issues on the ground and give some people a false sense of confidence
